Demand increasing year after yearOver the old age , the Brandkamp has see the demand for their Tropic Lantana series increasing and an authoritative reasonableness is the fact that the industrial plant in this line are more stocky compare to the regular Lantana . " It has always been a very popular plant as it is easy to wish for in the summer ; after flowering , the old flowers do not have to be removed and water every Clarence Day is not necessary . Now , this minuscule sized Lantana can be used for more purpose as it does not grow as large as the regular mixture anymore . Customers really prize this newfangled bod as we see the sales increase every year , " say von den Driesch .
democratic in Central EuropeThe Lantana is in special democratic in Central Europe . " Lantanas have a just persona as Mediterranean plants that are flowering all summer long without any problems . Additionally , Lantanas attract butterflies and bees , something that is extremely appreciated by the consumers nowadays . " But why are n’t these plants popular in other division of Europe ? According to von den Driesch , the sensing of this works and/or the climate in these countries are the master reasons . " In South of Europe , they uprise them as shrubs and Scandinavia has a tenacious cold spring , which this cold - sensitive plant does not wish . Therefore , Brandkamp ’s main market for Lantana ’s is Central Europe and it is a market in which they are continuously exposit . " Amounts are Brobdingnagian and the number is still increasing . "
Breeding : metre - waste and complicatedThe plant in Brandkamp ’s Tropic Lantana demarcation are known for their peculiar shape . " Unlike regular Lantanas , which are quite big , these plants are succinct , bushy , have many early - flowering flowers and are uncommitted in 10 , 11 and 12 cm pots " , explains Von den Driesch . About ten age ago , they put the first Tropic Lantana on the market and add coloring in the years that come . However , adding a new kind is not as easy as it sounds . The breeding summons is quite meter - consuming and complicated . " The output of seed and sprouting is often not good . On top of that , the minimum time to trial the variety is three old age . The Lantana is very sensitive to the weather term and it is more unmanageable to foreshadow the reaction as it can be different from year to class . " Therefore , Brandkamp is very pleased to insert three novelties in this melody . " Holding up the mellow level of the line of reasoning is more of import than introduce some new ace every yr . "

" There are always characteristic that can be enhance . So even though we have all the colour we need , we will keep invest in the facts of life of this sort to make it even better . " presently , the Tropic Lantana assortment consists of 10 colors and over the year , von hideaway Driesch has seen the demand for the bi - colored one increasing .
